Obradoiro strikes first

The first quarter was back-and-forth (23-25), with DJ Steward keeping San Pablo Burgos afloat from beyond the arc. Obradoiro began building its lead in the second quarter. They defended better, dominated the boards, and won the quarter 15-21 to head into halftime up 38-46.

After the break, the Santiago team continued stretching its advantage. Three-pointers from Alberto Barcello and Yannick Barrueta, three each, punished a Burgos team that couldn't find the basket from outside. The third quarter ended 54-66, with the visitors holding a 12-point lead.

Burgos applies pressure, Obra holds firm

San Pablo Burgos didn't give up. With Steward, who finished with 21 points and 4 three-pointers, and Sitapha Doumbouya (14) leading the way, the home team won the final quarter 18-13 and cut into the deficit, powered by their excellent free-throw shooting, making 22 of 25. However, Obradoiro managed the lead effectively. Their dominance on the boards (47-42) and superior three-point shooting, 11 three-pointers to Burgos's 6, ultimately tipped the scales in their favor.
